Last year, almost 9,000 incidents of domestic abuse were recorded by police in Sunderland – unfortunately the true scale of domestic abuse in Sunderland will be much greater, due to the hidden nature of abuse.

This isn’t just a statistic – it’s a reality that too many women face, leaving them feeling fearful, isolated and unsafe in their own community. It’s time to take action, and change starts with men. Every woman deserves to feel safe in public.

Starting a new relationship can be an exciting time, however, things may not always be as they seem. Domestic abuse is more common than you think, and it’s important to recognise the red flags for abuse and control.

This behavior is not something girls should ever have to ‘put up with’ – it’s harmful and needs to be addressed. These daily experiences create an environment where girls feel unsafe. Let’s call it out and support girls to feel safe and respected.

Domestic abuse is a lot more common than people think. It can happen to anyone, and affects all of us. Domestic abuse thrives on isolation, the signs may not always be obvious, but we all have a responsibility to respond.

Today marks the start of the 16 Days of Activism against gender-based violence. Domestic abuse affects us all, and you can make a difference. Men have a duty to help end domestic abuse. By speaking out, raising awareness and holding each other accountable.

The workplace, for many, is a place to meet new people and learn new skills. However, for some people it’s also a safe place where they can escape abuse.
Look out for the red flags. If something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.

It was brilliant to see everybody getting involved during the table discussions at our #WWINconf24 last month. We encourage you to continue having these valuable discussions, sharing ideas and turning these into robust actions
Fantastic to have such a wealth of experience in the room. Some great discussions around DHRs and what we can do to involve families and wider networks #WWINCONF24

Ciara Barrett Smith from @we_findaway highlighting the importance of services involving families and friends earlier in the process and equipting them with the necessary skills to support victims/survivors of domestic abuse #WWINCONF24
Our research report into the role of families, friends and communities in #DHRs is now available to read at: wwin.org.uk/reports
@norman_nicki presenting the research by @sarahdangar - 'seems to be a disconnect between what families are sharing with review teams & how this is (or isn't) being translated into recommendations' - read the briefing paper & full report here: wwin.org.uk/reports #WWINConf24

Did you see that today we released our stalking safety checklist?
Working with @paladinservice we have developed a simple checklist to support schools in creating a full support network around young people to equip them with the confidence to recognise stalking.
